$A$ variable circle is described to pass through the point $(1, 0)$ and is tangent to the curve $y = \tan(\tan^{-1} x)$. The locus of the centre of the circle is a parabola whose :

  • A
    vertex has the coordinates $(3/4, 1/4)$
  • B
    axis of symmetry has the equation $x + y = 1$
  • C
    none of these
  • D
    both $(A)$ and $(B)$
